Marissa woke up early the next morning. She felt ill and uncomfortable the night before, but the medicine she took was effective. She started to dress up and wanted to look her best as her son was coming back with his wife to visit her.
Stella was also fine that day. Marissa arranged for Stella to be dolled up, so she was given a complete makeover. Following Jenna’s arrangements, she was a completely different person and looked like a noble lady.
Marissa called Jenna after finishing the preparations. Jenna told her that she was about to arrive home. She was already in Capital City, but was stuck in heavy traffic near the airport.
“Of course traffic’s going to be slow, as it’s the peak hour of the day. But it’s fine, take your time, everything here is fine.” Marissa comforted Jenna. “I know, you don’t have to worry about me too,” Jenna replied.
“Okay.”
Marissa hung up the phone and looked at Stella, who was sitting next to her. “Don’t worry, I will help you.”
“Grandma, I don’t like Jepherson at all… and I don’t need your help. I promise if I have someone I like, then I will tell you.”
Stella went on and on about how she didn’t even have feelings for Jepherson. Marissa stopped her with a serious face. “Stop with the nonsense and don’t let me hear it again.”
Stella stuck out her tongue, but she was actually happy that she had said it out loud.
Jenna sat in the car and looked outside. “It had really been a long time since I was home. When did the traffic become so busy here? Is it the same everywhere?”
“Honey, there is traffic everywhere. It’s just that we have been on the cruise the whole time. Of course, there is not much traffic there. Have you ever seen the sea crowded with boats?”
Jenna really hadn’t seen it before, so she shook her head.
Hansen held Jenna’s hand and kissed her. He went near her ear and whispered, “Let’s go on another vacation once we’ve settled everything. That way, we won’t be stuck in heavy traffic.”
Jenna was stunned for a moment and she then smiled. “Okay then, I’d love that.”
Hansen leaned to one side, still holding and rubbing his beloved wife’s hand as he began to think about their next trip.
Jenna could have reached home at nine o’clock, but due to the traffic, she only arrived at home at eleven o’clock. Her delay actually created an opportunity for Scarlette.
Scarlette got up early that morning and had received a call. She was ordered to accompany Raeleigh to the destination, but Raeleigh only agreed to go in the afternoon.
Raeleigh let out a sigh when thinking of Jenna’s friendly face. When she first saw Jenna, she was pregnant. She didn’t expect that everything had changed in only a few months.
Raeleigh followed Scarlette to Richards Manor, but she didn’t leave the car.
Scarlette asked her to get out of the car but she did not move at all. Even after Scarlette got out of the car, Raeleigh still wouldn’t budge. So, she had no choice but to go back.
After sitting in the car for a while, Raeleigh told her that she had something she needed to buy. Scarlette instantly knew that Raeleigh didn’t even want to meet him.
She thought for a moment and said, “Then, I’ll go with you.”
When they reached there, Raeleigh was immediately lost in the crowd.
Jepherson was stopped in the Green Jade Garden in the morning. This is because Marissa was worried that he would go and look for Raeleigh.
As soon as Jepherson came out, he was stopped by Marissa.
“You want to leave as soon as you see me. Am I not your grandmother?” Marissa stood behind him, with her face showing obvious signs of dissatisfaction. She always deemed herself unlucky to have such a rude grandson.
Jepherson stopped and turned to look at Marissa. “If you think I’m not worthy of being your grandson, then you can tell me, and if you can’t tolerate my presence, then I can also leave.”
“Is it because I can’t tolerate your presence, or is it because you wanted me to die earlier?” Marissa was so angry that she felt dizzy.
Jepherson didn’t want to argue. He turned around and was about to leave. Marissa ordered his men to stop Jepherson. Jepherson stopped and didn’t leave. They were locked in a stalemate until Hansen returned with his wife.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw this lively scene. However, Hansen was happy to do nothing, and all he wanted was to stand by and watch the fun.
Jenna knew Hansen like the back of her hand. After so many years of marriage, who knew Hansen better than her?
Jenna took hold of Hansen’s arm and pulled him.
Only then did Hansen withdraw the glow on his handsome face, covering his look of pride.
“What’s wrong? Why am I greeted with this? Is it because you guys are busy discussing our arrival?”
Marissa was furious the moment he opened his mouth. She pointed at Jepherson and said, “Take a good look at your son! I’ve never seen such a rude brat in my life.”
“What’s wrong? Did Jerry do anything to anger you?” Jenna hurriedly walked to Marissa’s side, with her hands holding on to Marissa’s body. Her face was filled with terror.
Stella then came over to greet them. “Aunt Jenna.”
“Is it Stella, I hear?” Jenna turned around and looked at her, smiling like a flower.
Stella responded with a smile. “I already have a job, in the Richards Group, working as a designer.”
“Oh, so you’ve graduated,” Jenna said, smiling so brightly and broadly that her eyes became two slits. Stella was abashed and her face turned red.
“Yes, I’ve just graduated.”
“Then, do your best. If there is anything you don’t understand, then you can come to me. I’ll guide you through.”
“Okay, Aunt Jenna.”
Stella then went over to Hansen and greeted him. “Hi Uncle Hansen, it’s been a long time since we’ve met.”
“Hey.”
As usual, Hansen gave a short, formal response.
Following that, Hansen looked at his son. “What have you done to upset Grandma?”
Jepherson lowered his head. “I already have a girlfriend, but Grandma didn’t like her.”
“Girlfriend? How old are you? Why are you in such a hurry?” Hansen emphasized it. Jenna’s heart was filled with admiration.
“I told Mom about this. She gave me her blessing.”
“When did it happen? How come I didn’t know about it?” Hansen’s bossy aura came alive. Jenna almost could not contain herself.
Jepherson said, “A few months ago.”
Jenna immediately asked, “Is she the girl we saw abroad?”
“Yes, Mom.”
Jepherson admitted to it, but Jenna immediately said, “I think she’s not bad, that’s why I agreed. Why didn’t Grandma like her?”
“Sigh, what do you guys know? He had been cheated on and yet he refused to accept the fact.” Marissa became serious and held Jenna’s hand. Jenna had to pretend to be confused. “Really?”
“Follow me. I’ll tell you guys about it.”
Holding Jenna’s hand, Marissa turned around and went to the Ink Garden. Jenna had no choice but to go with her.
When they entered through the door, Marissa didn’t even say anything nice, and it was all complaints about Raeleigh.
After a while, Jepherson couldn’t bear to listen anymore and got up to leave.
Hansen stood up too. “I’m also a little tired. Take note of what Grandma has to say and then tell me about it afterwards.”
“Okay.”
Jenna glanced at her husband and agreed to comfort Marissa. “It’s not something that can be explained clearly. But I understand it roughly. Her name is Raeleigh. She has no status, no parents, and is an ill-bred child. Besides, she is also involved in a bad lifestyle. You have your concerns, and you are not specifically targeting her.”
“Jerry, on the other hand, is a stubborn child. He is determined to have whatever he wants.”
“I think we should give this matter further thought and discuss it, so try not to push him too hard.”
“I’m aware of what you just said, but we have to settle this as soon as possible. That’s why I feel that you and I should be of one mind. Only by working together can we protect Jerry.”
Jenna thought for a moment. “I give you my word.” She agreed. This is when Marissa became happy.
